The Appeal

With the 996 Porsche brought the 911 to a wider audience. There was a version for everyone thanks to an array of engine, trim and specification options.

The first keeper of this 2000 3.4L 996 must have ticked every options box. Finished in potent black with matching interior and burgundy roof, it has a convertible roof with hardtop, the surefooted AWD system and versatile Tiptronic auto box. Then there is the $17,005 of options that include Turbo-Look alloys and body kit.

The car is a USA-market model that has covered 116,335 miles from new. It has spent time in Dubai and comes to market with Dubai title and Dutch importation documents. The vendor reports that it received accident damage repairs in 2013.

The car is said to run and drive but will require some checks and attention to pass a technical inspection.
